How do you go against gravity?
You stand up. Or you apply some other force that counteracts gravity.
As you go down a SLIDE your movement is not smooth what can you infer about the force acting on you?
Gravity is the force that is pulling you down. However, friction is acting against gravity to keep you in place, since you are rubbing against the slide. So the quick answer would be friction.
How do skiers overcome the force of gravity to have another go?
They use a ski-lift. The ski-lift pulls them up-hill - against the force of gravity until they reach the top of the run. They then ski back down the slope.
How can you demonstrate the force of gravity?
Just let go of something you are holding. Gravity will demonstrate the rest.
How can you tell if work is being done on an object?
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.

Why does a shuttle need thrust?
To lift off the earth against the force of gravity. To go up.
Does it take the same amount of force for an object to go up against gravity as it does to go down with gravity?
It doesn't take any force at all for an object to go down on account of the influence of gravity. All you have to do is let go of it. If you ever want it to go up, then at some point in the process, you'll have to push it upward with a force that's greater than its weight. (After you finish pushing it and it leaves your hand, gravity is the only force on it again.)

Why fumes of a candle go up against gravity when lighted?
They go up against gravity because they are lighter than the air.
What force causes water to go down the drain?
gravity force
Does the Colorado river go against gravity?
no
How do you know when work is being done and when its not?
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.

What is a sign that work is being done?
The object may move against a force, for example be raised against gravity, or it may accelerate ie go faster, or it may get warmer for example by friction.
